The right OF Mrs. Villas, who was at Mrs
Ceyeland,s side.
The future president" a boy 81 tender
years riding along in q carriage-caused a
general outburst Of laughter. Even the
president, who had heretofore viewed the
procession With a sober, dignifed air, gave
way TO merriment. The military and clubs
hlled around the grand stand and the ra.
view closed. Then the party was escorted to
the Hotel Ryan.
Both the president and his wife seemed
much pleased with their ride and review 81
their procession.
The reception which took place at the
Ryan from $3.50 to lilo y, M, was the
GROWING feature OF the most interesting
six hours in the history DIST. Paul. There
vas the same vast crowd and the same
struggle for precedence.
Promptly at $50 the president. attired
in full evening dress, and Mrs. Cleveland.

Senator and Mrs. Mcmillan we're the irst
to greet the president and his wife, and
they received a hearty ~hand-shake from
both Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland. The or.
der Of the evening however, pro.
hibited the president shaking hands
with the crowd, and his greeting
was a single kindly nod to almost every
one. Mrs. Cleveland shook hands with
but half a dozen during the evening, they
either being old acquaintance or the
ladies who assisted at the reception. A
gracious bend Of the stately head, with a
pleasant smile, was her greeting to the
Others, and all who saw her were more
than repaid for the tedious wait in the
crowd outside,
The crowd began to come by in twos and

tire time. During the first fifteen minutes
the people moved slowly, about forty five
going by per minute, Col. Rockwell intro
ducing the more prominent men by their
names.
Although Grover Cleveland is the presi-
dent OF this great country, it was Mrs.
Cleveland that the crowd noticed more
particularly. Hardly a single person who
passed the pair but what looked at Mrs.
Cleveland fully twice as long al they did
at her husband.
As Gov. Remsey wRs introduced she ex-
tended her hand, and said most amiably:
How do you do, governor; / told you /
was coming" As sixteen OF the noble red
men OF the forest marched through, she
smiled in merriment, and even his excel
leney's pleasant face softened.

OF the south corridor, discoursed sweet
music during the entire time, and brass
bands, stationed outside the building, al

1t is estimated that fully 5000 people
passed the president during the evening.
After the affair wal over the president

about the city in carriages, and at noon
started for Minneapolis.
East Indian Wheat Competition with America,
The report OF Consul General Bonham.
at Calcutta, British India, treats at length
OF the wheat interests OF that country dur
ing the fiscal year ended March 81, 1886:
The area devoted to wheat was about
81, 500, 900 acres and the total yield 2S9.-
900, 600 bushels. As compared with
She wheat OF the Pacific coast, the
Indian wheat ia inferior, but
when exported to Europe it is mixed and
ground when wheat OF a superior quality,
and a fair marketable grade OF -four OBJ
tanned. The method OF cultiyating thesoil
is ia the main the same as il was centuries
ago; yet the Indian farmers can successfully
compete with those Of the United States
in the production OF wheat. This Is due
to the fact that the Indian farmers outfit
represents a capital Of not more than $40
or $50, and his hired help works, feeds
and clothes himself on .
month. The export Of wheat from Brit
ish India increased from 300, 900 cwt in
1868 to $1,000, 600 cwt in 1885, and the
increase OF 1886 over 1885 amounted to
5000, 900, cwt. To-day India is sec
ond only to the United States in wheat
growing. Furthermore, wheat growing in
India is yet in its infancy and its further
development depends principally upon the
means OF transportation to the sea board.
